Emulator library for OS testing

[Geri]

you can use my emulator, to create failed environments (you can modify the memory slots)

I didn't test this tool but it's the first things that comes to mind when I read this topic:

Description-en: Virtual machine running in user mode
 FAUmachine is a virtual machine that can simulate PC hardware like QEMU.
 Its main focus is to simulate the real hardware as close as possible.
 .
 FAUmachine comes with the ability to inject faults to different hardware
 simulators, e.g. to inject intermittent or transient faults to the simulated
 disk or the simulated memory.
 .
 FAUmachine also comes with an experiment controller, with which automated
 tests, like installing an operating system from an iso image, can be run.

That looks neat! It doesn't look like it's still being developed though, and faumachine.org is no longer about the software

Quick search led me here: http://www3.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/ ... AUmachine/ , although line "Current release: 20120707" still looks sad.
Some tools (mostly for applications/libraries) are mentioned here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_inj ... tion_tools
AFAIR, fault injection support was planned in ReBochs, see http://forum.osdev.org/viewtopic.php?f= ... 26&start=0 for details (although it's also isn't actively developed).
